Assigning Alerts to an Additional Poller

mazydizzle2K10 Feb 4, 2013 7:43 AM

Hi all,

I have NPM 10.1.2 and I have following the administrator's guide for NPM 10.1.2 for configuring an additional poller.

I am trying to assign my advanced alerts to this poller and I have got as far as duplicating the alerts that i wish to assign, then making a note of the new Poller Engine ID, then trying to run the sample SQL query to assign the engine ID to these new copied alerts.

However, firstly the documentation states for me to query the "Alerts" table. When I do this, the alerts I see do not correlate to the alerts I see in the advanced alert window of Alert Manager. The actual Alerts that I have created are in a table called "AlertDefinitions",but then there is no Table Field called "Engine ID" so I cannot run the query on that table...

Has anyone else come accross this and know if I am doing something wrong?

Mario

Mario,
Are you wondering which Advanced Alerts apply to your additional pollers? If so, once defined, all Advanced Alerts are automatically applied. Advanced Alerts run against your Orion database. Since all data from all pollers go to the same database, Advanced Alerts will consequently be applied to all collected data. You don't have to "assign Advanced Alerts" to your pollers.
Hope this helps.

  Thanks for the reply...
  
  I must have not understood the admin guide properly then. In the guide (Chapter 14), it says that to configure a new additional poller you must do 3 things...
  
  1. copy over any custom fields etc to the new poller
  2. assign alerts to the additional poller
  3. install additional polling engine software for each additional module you want to run.
  
  Have I misunderstood something here?

    OK, i have confirmed with support that it is only basic alerts that need copying over, advanced alerts are not Poller Engine specific so they do not need to be moved over.
    
    thanks
